How you can measure it (specific fitness test): I scored a 8/17 on the "FitNation Flexibility Test." This scored surprised me because I have been working on my flexibility for quite some time. After doing research, visiting a chiropractor and physiotherapist, I have concluded the fact my body is not flexible what so ever is because of the amount of stress I put on my muscles on a weekly basis. I was recommended to do only a certain amount of training which would allow my body to become less injury prone. My goal is to score a +14 on the next "FitNation Flexibility Test" which will take place near winter break (Every 2-3 months).
A workout / app that will help you meet your goal: After consulting my physiotherapist and chiropractor, they insisted that I began doing "active isolating stretching." AIS is a newly discovered stretching method which makes your body go beyond its stretching limits which allows you to increase your flexibility by %10-%15 if the structure of the stretching routine is correct. I took on the responsibility of trying to find a stretching routine which would give me the success I desired.
I found this amazing routine constructed by The Northern Quarter Clinic on Youtube. I have been doing this routine twice on a daily basis and so far I have seen a huge difference doing it on a consistent basis.
